Multicultural creativity

Bebianes work in DJM is driven by the joy of seeing students release their artistic potential. In her pedagogic work, as well as in her creativity based artistic work, the core itself is an immedeate and deliberate approach to singing and playing with others. From the childhood in small town Qaqortoq, Southgreenland, to culture capitol Aarhus. She is passionate about educating and creating healthy, strong voices for artists to express themselves with freedom and without obstructive tension.

Through her work, in research, masterclasses, workshops and concerts, she is succesfully creating strong, free voices that are able to support artists in their creative and performative carriers.
Bebiane builds her teaching on her own research, supplemented by relevant source material, and a personally active artistic profile.
